Gladness Comes
With a. better understanding of the
transient nature of tho many phys

tho knowledge, that so many forms of
olekness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
ever-where esteemed so highly by all
who'valucgood health. Its beneficial
effects arc due to tho fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanlluess without debilitating the
organs on which it ucts. It is therefore
nil important, in order to get its bene
ficial effect:, to uote when you pur

" I shall put on my rubber shoes,'

Quarter Acre Lot In Clilvucu.
Tho history of a quarter aero lot in
Chicago reads like a romance. In 1S30,
when tho population of tho city num
bered fifty souls, this quarter ncre of
raw pralrlo was worth $20. At $1.50
per day a man could havo earned In
13 1-i dnys enough to buy It outright.
To-day It Is worth $1,250,000. As the
report of the Illinois Bureau of Sta
tistics puts it: Six hundred average
Illinois farms would not now exchange
for that quarter aero of rare prairie
land, and nearly 3,000 years of the labor
of one man would bo required to buy
it. If COO years before tho Christian
era some man had obtained employ
ment at the equivalent ot ono dollar
and fifty cents a day, had, llko some
wandering Jew, been preserved through
all tho vicissitudes of tho centuries,
had been miraculously sustained with
out expense for any of tho necessaries
or luxuries of life, had done his work
regularly from that day to this 300
days in tho year without losing a day,
and had hoarded all his wages, his sav
ings would not yet bo enough to buy
this quarter aero of prairie land at the
mouth of the Chicago River.
t'onimrtUr Mortality of the World.
An eminent Italian statistician has
been making inquiries Into tho compa
rative mortality of the countries of tho
world, and ho has arrived at some In
teresting conclusions. The death rato
per 1,000 inhabitants In 1892-91 was as
follows: Australia, 13.2; Sweden, 17.2;
England, 1S.3; Scotland, 18.1; Ireland,
18.5; Holland, 19.C; Switzerland, 20.1;
Belgium, 20.2; France, 22.3; Germany,
23.7; Italy, 25.7; Austria, 27.9; Hun
gary, 33.3. All thes countries except
Franco nnd Ireland hnvc reduced their
death rate during tho last twenty years.
In Ireland It has Increased, and In
France It has remained stationary. In
France, too, tho death rate of persons
in the prime of life Is higher than in
most other countriec, and shows no
tendency to decrease. In England the
mortality Is fceblo in childhood nnd
youth, relatively strong in the prime
of life and old age, but is gradually
diminishing.
